Extraction of Saturation Current and Ideality Factor from Measuring Voc and Isc of Photovoltaic Modules

Saturation current (I0) and ideality factor (n) of a p-n junction solar cell are an indication of the quality of the cell. These two parameters are usually estimated from dark current-voltage measurements. In this study, a quick and easy method to determine these two parameters by measuring open-cir...
